I have to go to Singleton tomorrow for the day and thought rather than going the Freeway would take a more senic route and enjoy the drive.
I was thinking either the Putty Road or goWollombi way via the Wisemans Ferry ?

any suggestions would be appreciated

Thankyou

Both much the same, Wisemans ferry ahead by a pinch. If you have the time travel to lithgow, take the castlereagh highway, turn off towards Rystone then take the bylong valley rd Spectacular.

Thanks for that, I probably don't have time to go via Lithgow this time but will keep it in mind.
Do you think Wisemans or the Putty road is a nicer drive?

Depends where you live in sydney. In the west go the Putty Road. Or Wisemans Ferry
East of Parramatta Take the old Highway from Hornsby follow the back roads to cessnock.

The Bylong Valley is a great trip but it is the long way around to get to Newcastle
I have done it on my Bike several times.

]If you are going to Singleton then Putty rd is your answer. It is good run with only the section where you wind your way round the creek edge for approx 10kms that slows you down. Also there is a new road cafe opened this year at the half way mark 86km from Windsor or Singleton as the old half way house up the road burned down 2yrs ago, the cafe also has free overnight [48hrs] caravan /camping with amenities for thoughs who are interested.

I travel this road often when going to visit daughter at Newcastle way from Kurrajong to avoid the F3 /penno rd traffic and find it more enjoyable

Hi Alby,

Prob the most scenic route you can take is to head south out of Sydney and keep driving till you (eventually) reach Singleton. It does take a little longer but what a drive.

Thanks for all of your replies, I ran out of time this morning with all of the traffic so had to go via the expressway but came home via the Putty Road. It was a very enjoyable drive.
